Smoky, hearty bean and bacon soup is a classic, but soups in my house never feel complete without a few vegetables. In this rendition of bean and bacon soup, soft cubes of butternut squash and silky shreds of chard add a little freshness, transforming this soup into a comforting and nutritious one-pot meal. More

You've got the sniffles. It's chilly outside. You want nothing more than to wrap yourself in a big ol' blanket and settle down with a mug of chicken noodle soup. Am I right? Then this is the recipe for you. It's miles better than anything from a box or a can, but isn't quite so laborious as starting with a whole chicken and making stock from scratch. It's the Goldilocks of chicken soups, and it's just right. More

Have you made your first hot soup of the season yet? If not, perhaps one of these filling, flavorful recipes will inspire you. And they're all vegetarian!

Maybe your stock was unusually salty, or too much water boiled off, or you simply added one pinch of salt too many — however it happened, it's happened: your soup is too salty. What's the best way to fix it? And how can you prevent it from happening next time? More

Hot and Sour Mushroom, Cabbage, and Rice Soup

I don't repeat recipes very often. There are always new things to try, and even when a recipe is fantastic I'll return to it perhaps a year later. The only exception to this is soup.

The soup above, for instance, a hot and sour mix of turkey broth, cabbage, rice, mushrooms, and lime, is my best cure for the fall cold, and every autumn and winter it goes into regular rotation. What about you? Do you have essential soups that carry you through fall? What are they? More

A dramatic wind whipped through my neighborhood last night, bringing a blast of soup weather. But I was ready for the chilly temperatures.

I ladled out black bean soup for dinner three nights in a row, and never got tired of it.

In the past we've looked at a few more refined versions of potato soup. There has been a creamy curried potato soup, a sweet potato soup with miso and ginger, and a roasted garlic and potato soup. But I'm not as polished as the rest of our Kitchn writers. See, this Midwestern girl wants her meat and potatoes and she doesn't always want them to be fancied up — well, unless you consider bacon fancy. More

While it's true that there are many types of wonderful, varied fall soups, having a few special soup toppings in your arsenal never hurts. Our current favorite? Pesto! More

When I can, I make my own stock. But when I can't, I buy containers of beef, chicken, and vegetable stock at the store. That's life! Do you cook with store-bought stock? Have a favorite brand? More

If you've ever intentionally or accidentally left a soup or stock in the pot overnight, you've probably wondered if it is still safe to eat after reheating. Harold McGee had the same question, especially when he heard about the food writer Michael Ruhlman's practice of using stock from a pot left out all week. He talked to a food safety expert to find out if reboiled stock is still safe to eat when you leave it out for one night — or even several days. More
